Directions
1) Wash and dry the lettuce leaves; cut or tear into bite-size
pieces and place into a salad bowl. Add the remaining ingredients and
toss lightly.
NOTE: Lightly toasted sesame seeds may be substituted for the
walnuts. To make moretum more authentically, use only two lettuce

and blend well. Transfer to a mixing bowl, and add the cheese and
ground pepper. Form into a ball. Add the vinegar and oil in sparing
amounts.
